by Joseph King in Championship Predictions
Seven matches remain in the English Championship and plenty is still up for grabs! Two teams with a lot on the line will face off on Saturday as fifth-place Coventry City hosts third-place Burnley. Read on for our match prediction.
Coventry are currently in the promotion playoff positions but there is only a slim two-point buffer between themselves and seventh-place Middlesbrough. With 13 points separating the Sky Blues from fourth-place Sunderland, the objective from here on out will be to secure themselves at least fifth place.
The hosts come into this fixture looking to bounce back following a 3-1 away loss to Sheffield United last week. After a red-hot run of nine wins from 10 Championship matches, Coventry have now lost two of their last three.
Burnley made up some ground on the top two after two straight wins combined with two consecutive draws for now second-place Leeds United.
The Clarets secured all three points in a 1-0 home win over Cardiff last weekend, extending their unbeaten run to five games, which includes four wins. In what is no longer much of a surprise, three of those four victories for Bunrley were accompanied by clean sheets.
The visitors now trail league-leaders Sheffield by two points and sit even on points with second-place Leeds, trailing only on goal differential.
